Blue Lobster
Seabrook Station's Science & Nature Center is the new home for Chilly Willy, a very rare blue lobster. Marine scientists believe a genetic condition causes the blue pigmentation, seen in only about one in 2,000,000 lobsters. The male blue lobster came from the Gulf of Maine where a lobsterman pulled him up in a trap. Originally, the lobster was donated to the Children's Museum in Portland, Maine, but because of his aggressiveness, a new home had to be found. Now Willy has found a permanent home at the Science & Nature Center. Please stop by soon and visit with our new blue friend
